First-time
children's book author, Darrel L. Hammon, believes that Santa never forgets
“his children, no matter where they might be on Christmas Eve.” Christmas Beneath a Frozen Lake answers the question that many children ask
around Christmas: “Will Santa be able to find me even if we aren’t at home?”
The mere thought of Santa Claus not visiting
their homes, filling their stockings and leaving piles of presents under the tree
can be a cause for great concern for many children. Children may also pause for concern when they
discover their homes do not have a fireplace, as, according to all the
traditional stories, is the only way St. Nick can get into their homes to
deliver his Christmas cheer.
For Bob the
Bullfrog and his family in Christmas
Beneath a Frozen Lake, this is exactly the fear the children are facing, as
this particular Christmas, Bob’s family finds their home at the bottom of a very
frozen lake. Bob and his siblings know that, because of the thick ice, there
was no way that Santa could get through. Christmas
Beneath a Frozen Lake is the perfect tale of the how one child’s belief in
the magic of Christmas can bring hope and joy.
Christmas Beneath a Frozen Lake is truly a wonderful story “I am hoping that
as families read Christmas Beneath a
Frozen Lake together this holiday season, they spend time thinking about
the miracles that can happen no matter what time of the year it is,” Hammon
explains.
Hammon’s Bob the
Bullfrog character originated many years ago after his daughters' pleadings for
a bedtime story. “Over the years, my daughters urged me to publish the Bob
the Bullfrog stories. I guess it was just time,” Hammon said. He also sees Bob
the Bullfrog having many more adventures and is excited to finally see them come to fruition. “Bob really represents
all of us, and experiences and adventures that we have all had or wish we could
have,” Hammon said.
Marcos Castillo, from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic,
illustrated Christmas Beneath a Frozen
Lake. It is his first adventure in illustrating a children’s book, but
certainly not his last.
